 Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2004 5:01 pm Post subject: X restarts when screamsaver kicks in... |
 |
|
Hello all,
I just upgraded from xorg 6.7.x to 6.8.0-r1 on Saturday (9/1 and an odd thing is happening... whenever xscreensaver kicks in, the whole X environment seems to restart. I had NO problems prior to Saturday.
My xorg.0.log.old only reports the following (I have NO unresolved symbols above):
| Code: |
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/util/, removing from list!

Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.

Anyone have any clues where I should start?
Oh, I tried to re-emerge xscreensaver, but no change. My next step is to try to re-emerge xorg.
Thanks in advance,
Randy |

Are you running an opengl screensaver or a 2d one? Can you run other opengl apps fullscreen? 2d apps? |

I'm guessing that 99% of the savers I had running previously are opengl, they are the more '3d' type of savers.
What are some of the other opengl apps that I should try to run? (This is a work laptop, so I only have a fairly 'core' set of apps installed).
Thanks for the quick reply!...

Yes, I do believe it has something to do with opengl... I went to the screensaver setup 'widget' in the gnome menu, and any time I selected one of the 3d (what I am assuming is opengl) savers with 'auto preview' turned on, X restarts... coversely, any of the 2d savers seem to preview just fine.
What next? |

I had this problem a while back, turned out that my Nvidia drivers weren't playing nicely with Xorg. so, I installed the 6111 nvidia drivers and all is good. It also wasn't loading the glx module either, but I can't remember exactly what the problem there was...
run glxgears and see if X restarts. |

| What video card you using? The ATI drivers don't play nice with xorg 6.8. I had to mask that version of xorg until ATI shapes up. |
